Journalist discusses Bannon's rogue interview

"Arif has been arrested and he has confessed that his brother brought the dead body of the newborn from the nearby graveyard," Ameer Abdullah, police chief of Bhakkar district where the village is located, said.

"Arif told police that both of them later cooked the dead body and ate it."

In the earlier case police found the body of a 24-year-old woman who had recently died of cancer at the men's house -- minus a leg, which they had eaten.

A hunt is under way to find Ali, Abdullah said, while Arif will undergo psychiatric tests.

Zafar Iqbal, a police official in Darya Khan police station, where Arif is being held, said that the men's wives and family members had left them some years ago and both were living in the house in isolation.

"The neighbours complained to police of a foul stench and police raided the house immediately. We arrested him after discovering a head of a baby. Arif has admitted his crime," Iqbal said.
